Commentary: A second time around

Watching a movie again
My significant other doesn't understand why I watch movies the second time. Once it's over, it's over. Myself, on the other hand, have lots of reasons to do so.
Most of the time, I watch the movie again to 'feel' the movie. Movies have a way of changing the way I feel. Some movies make you feel sad, others ars uplifting but the best ones make you feel all of them. Watching them again and having those feelings played back is both fulfilling and nostalgic. It's taking a journey again. Seeing the same sights, meeting the same people. Sometimes, you might see things you missed before. What a nice surprise that'll be.
Sometimes, you might even take a different route. Things you saw the last time now seem different. They might take on a different meaning.
There used to be a time when watching a movie again was something hard to do. But with 100-channel cable, more if you have sattellite, the chances of seeing a movie again is an inevitability. So why not enjoy it.
